Needing a windowed system monitor that include temps

Hello,

I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my family's 4 netbooks. Sadly (and a big mistake in my opinion?), I can't add a temp monitoring applet to my panel, but that's not really the point. I am needing a way to monitor my computer temps that includes a graph (kinda like a CPU usage monitoring graph).

Any suggestions? I really need this ability because I have another regular laptop that overheats at times and I would like to see the history without using a script to do it via text and logging.

With thanks,
Nathan

NAME
mb-applet-launcher - an application launcher panel applet SYNOPSIS
mb-applet-launcher [options] [action] image_file application DESCRIPTION
mb-applet-launcher is a panel applet which can be used to start a given application. The applet displays the PNG or XPM file given on the command line as an icon, and when the user clicks on the icon the application is started. Matchbox is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks and anything else for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited. OPTIONS
-display display X display to connect to --title title --no-animation Disable any animations --start, -s Start application immediately The default action is to iconize/uniconize the selected application. Other actions can be specified as command-line options: --kill, -k Destroy the application --respawn, -l Respawn multiple instances of the application --message, -m Display output from the application as a message from the panel Alternatively, a valid .desktop file can be given: --desktop .desktop_file Any actions given with this option will have no effect. Similar behaviour can be achieved by including a `SingleInstance=True' key pair in the .desktop file. AUTHOR
